Shorts made with a hem with invisible stitching lines.
Pictures and Description
I made wide shorts that were about knee-length.
This time, I made it with a blind hem stitch
so that the stitch line at the hem of the pants is not visible.
You can choose one of the two.
Stretch fabric is number 12.
(The number is the number written on the sewing machine I use.)
These are blind hem foots.
The shape may vary depending on the sewing machine.
You can use a basic foot, but you can sew more easily if you use a blind hem foot.
This is used when sewing by aligning a specific part with the white guide.
You can adjust the position by turning the nut.
If you fold the hem twice, fold and sew like this.
Even in the case of serged seam, the folding method is the same.
All you have to do is sew slowly, leaving a little bit of stitching only at the end of the folded part.
※If this is your first time sewing, practice first.
It's not difficult as long as you remember how to fold the hem.
When you unfold the folded part, it looks like this.
The stitches may be slightly visible, but depending on the fabric and thread color, they may be barely visible.
I think it would look pretty even if it was made with flowing fabric.
The side view was taken as if she was wearing a skirt.
Materials
The shorts pattern was divided into 8 A4 sheets.
Cotton Fabric, Safety Pin, Iron,
20mm Elastic Band 75cm (29½in) : Waist Circumference x 0.9 + 3cm (1¼in)
How to make
1. Draw seam lines with a pattern or ruler on the fabric without seam lines.
The hem is 3cm (1¼in).
The waist is 4.5cm (1¾in).
2. Fold each piece at a time, sew the side seam, and zigzag or serging.
3. Turn one side over and put inside the other.
4. After sewing, zigzag or serging like in the picture.
5. Fold the hem twice at 1cm (⅜in) and 2cm (⅞").
Ironing makes it easier to sew.

7. Fold the upper hem twice at 1cm (⅜in) and 3.5cm (1⅜in) and iron it.
8. Sew, leaving an opening for the elastic band.

8. Using a safety pin, insert the elastic band into the waist
and sew the elastic bands together.
